Question

Hi all! Wanted to check my answer. If I evaluate (x^2 -2)/(2x+1) what is the most simplified result?

Answer 1

evalute that at what ?
or just simplify ?
whats the original question?

Answer 2

Just to differentiate. I have (4x^2 +2x-2x^2 +4)/(2x+1)^2

Answer 3

yes, correct, now simplify

Answer 4

oof

Answer 5

umm

Answer 6

well the denominator would be 4x^2 +4x+1

Answer 7

keep the denominator as (2x+1)^2

Answer 8

aha ok

Answer 9

just simplify numerator

Answer 10

then I get

Answer 11

2x-2x^2 +4 / 2x+1

Answer 12

4x^2 +2x-2x^2 +4
2x^2 +2x+4
= 2(x^2+x+2)

Answer 13

hmm

Answer 14

so whats your doubt ?
2(x^2+x+2) / (2x+1)^2
is most simplified form.....
